Paris for the first time with kids (9 & 4 year old)

We are visiting Paris for the first time in July for 7 days and would like some help. We are staying near Arc de Triomphe in a hotel. Our plan is to discover various neighborhoods in Paris including area near the hotel, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Le Marais, Saint-Germain and Montmartre. I don't think we can do French food for 7 days so we would like to mix it up. We are from California and love Italian, Mediterranean, Thai cuisine. We prefer places that might have menu for kids or be a bit more accomodating. Also, my older son has a bit of a funky egg allergy (he can have egg pasta, ice cream, etc. for example but can't have crepes, pastries, etc.)

Here are some places that I had researched and would love your feedback/suggestions:

1/ Morning exploration in Le Marais - try a lunch spot at Marché des Enfants Rouges, coffee at Broken Biscuits, Le Peloton Cafe or Ob-la-di, bakery Jacques Genin and ice cream at Une Glace à Paris. 2/ Coffee near Notre Dame - Shakespeare and Company Café, ice cream at Berthillon3/ Dinner at Le Loubnane as we will spend the evening at Jardin des Plantes 4/ Explore Saint-Germain - lunch at Cosi or some place at Bon Marche? Coffee at Coutoume and pastries at Pierre Herme5/ Afternoon/evening at Luxembourg Gardes and dinner at either Au Petit Suisse or La Cuisine de Philippe?6/ Explore Montmartre - lunch at Jeanne B or Brasserie Thai, coffee: Café Cuillier, checkout Boulangerie Raphaëlle7/ After that our plan is to go to Rue Saint Honore' to check out the shopping scene. Coffee at Matamata Coffee Bar. What would be a good dinner spot in this area?8/ Eiffel Tower area - lunch at O'Scia or Filakia? Dinner near Louvre at Balagan?9/ Need a dinner spot near Place du Tracedero.10/ Need to find another dinner place ideally near our hotel near Arc de Triomphe

The other places I read up on for lunch are Arnaud Nicolas, la fontaine de mars, Pirouette, Benoit Paris, L'As du Fallafel. Also, heard good things about the pizza at Atelier Fratelli. Would love to hear your thoughts and open to completely changing the spots if you have better suggestions. Thanks!

Kimchi has conquered the world! Most people know this popular Korean side dish as fermented cabbage, but the truth is you can kimchi pretty much any vegetable and fruit.
Food explorers seek it at restaurants and/or specialty stores. This fermented delicacy is an immune-system boosting probiotic food, that includes "healthy bacteria".
In the season finale of CHOW-TO, Atoboy's chef de cuisine YeongSoo Lee teaches Guillermo the basics on how to make the Korean staple.
There is not one right recipe, here we learn the principles, and the idea is to make it your own. Kimchi is so customizable, that traditional Napa cabbage is just the start. YeongSoo shows us a couple of other variations for inspiration. Move over pickles, time to do some fermenting at home.

Breaded, deep-fried meat doesn’t need much more other than seasoning. Add to that, using one of the most expensive cuts of meat in the world. Wrap some crustless white bread around it, and you’ve got yourself a perfect snack known as Katsu Sando. A popular Japanese convenience store staple that has become an Instagram darling, and the new avocado toast at restaurants around the country. To learn more about the sandwich, Wagyu beef, and how to make this treat at home (don't worry, you can use any protein, this is not reserved for the super rich) Guillermo visits chef Corwin Kave at Don Wagyu in NYC, to learn all the secrets behind America’s most expensive beef sandwich.

Nasi Lemak is the de facto national dish of Malaysia. Traditionally eaten for breakfast, it might seem like a simple dish. But don't be fooled, this is a flavor bomb. Guillermo visits chef Kyo Pang, at her restaurant Kopitiam in the Lower East Side of Manhattan to learn how to make this Baba Nyonya-staple. It's a fragrant, spicy and sweet delicacy — and even inspired its own Google Doodle. Are you ready to shake up your morning routine?

Beef ribs can stand up to strong flavors. Here, a spicy-sweet rub with chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic, and brown sugar coats the meat, which is roasted to tenderness. Finishing on the grill with a smoky chipotle barbecue sauce ensures the meat gets a nice char and the sauce lacquers. Read more.
